The flag of democracy is being raised into the sky by more and more Helldivers. Arrowhead Game Studios was able to set a new record on Steam with Helldivers 2: Over 400,000 players were traveling across the galaxy at the same time in the name of freedom. This means that the online shooter is now in the top 25 most played Steam titles of all time. And at the same time, GTA 5 was also caught up. At some point the numbers will go down again, but at the moment the game is still on a high.

Some causes have been resolved, but scaling problems continue.
